Not commenting on if its overpriced but I don't think we should be including the likes of it on the thread as we are pushing the bangernomics budget too much here. The same guy always seems to have some very nice well presented cars for sale. Saying that he should have himself classified as an Independent Dealer on DD as opposed to a private seller.

My sister has a new born and drives a Fiesta the same as yours. She cannot afford to change cars at the moment as she is building a house so she has to made do with the Fiesta for the time being. Your car doesn't have isofix fittings for a baby seat so your choice of baby seat will be limited to one that is compatible with non isofix rear seats. You will need to chose wisely with the buggy too but she got one that fits in the boot and only requires one of the wheels to be detached when put in the boot.

Wondering maybe that fiesta has pre installed the isofix and he only needs to finish it with a ford/ebay part...try to google it

There was a civic 1.8 saloon for €2500 posted yesterday. You should consider it. Looks like an exceptional example.

All depends if it's a 3d or 5d fiesta. While a 5d can still be practical car, a 3d version will be a nightmare to live with and a baby.

Take you 5 hours travel. You’ll spend that looking at donedeal.

Kerry is a lovely part of the country. Go on a road trip

There are some county plates I wouldn’t drive regardless of how cheap the car was.

Of course it is. See the 201 thread for people who buy new and get the car initially reg'd to a Dublin address and then get it changed back to ensure they get a "D" plate.

Yes but in the sense that certain Counties, that are on the coast, have a reputation for being rust bucket's because of the salt in the air, and therefore, lose their value because of that.

But I'm not sure that this is what the poster had in mind........:rolleyes:

I wouldn’t even be particularly bothered with a D plate anymore but there are definitely some counties that are a no no.
It’s silly, you should be able to rereg a used car to your own county if you wish.
There’d still be a record of previous regs so you wouldn’t be hiding anything.
Dept could charge a rereg fee and make money.

Love the 3rd picture

Love that generation of CLK.

Anyone know if they are any good. How reliable are the engines and gearboxes?

Would love one just for spinning around in, short trips to/from train station etc. Won't be doing high mileage in it so it would be a lovely little run around.

It’s not particularly cheap. It seems to have a comprehensive service history, one owner, and very tidy inside and out.

That’s what matters at this price level, not the county on the reg.

I wasn’t referring to to price of the Civic, it was the KY plate that would turn me off.
Went looking at a €1400 CRV (mk2 ‘05) yesterday.
NCT 02/21, taxed til next month. EVERYTHING worked, a/c, cruise, heated leather seats, sunroof. I checked everything and walked away because it was on a C plate.
Just couldn’t do it.

Here you go. Front tyres will need replacing and bodywork is not quite as tidy up close but decent motor and drives well.

Presumably you knew the county reg before you went to view it - why did you bother?

It's only visible in 5 of the 7 exterior photographs, may not have been noticed by such a particular person.

It was only 15 mins from my house and I thought if the car was good enough I could get past the reg issue.
I couldn’t.
